Orientations

Students enrolled in online and hybrid courses are welcome to attend a virtual orientation
or an on-campus orientation to Online Learning. These orientations are NOT course-specific.

For Summer 2019, a virtual orientation will take place from 12-1:30 p.m. June 5 via
the webconferencing software Zoom, and an on-campus orientation will take place June
6 from 1-2:30 in room 2410. View Zoom access instructions.

do this at these orientations; they will need to contact the instructors directly.
